Emulated the leaders that mentored me, I developed a leadership mantra that, in a nut shell, states that no one has gotten to their current position purely through their own merit - sure, personal dedication and ability play great parts - but everyone in some way has been mentored, tutored, taught, coached etc. It is my personal belief that once someone is in a position to where they can then mentor, tutor, teach, coach, etc. those around them that they have an obligation to do so. This is a mindset that I took with me from the Marine Corps into my professional life and to the ANG. Now that I am nearing the completion of my degree, I am excited about the possibility of returning back to the Marines - and the great opportunities it will again provide me - as an Officer. Becoming a Marine was one of the greatest and humbling achievements of my life. Becoming a leader of Marines - a Marine Officer - will be the greatest and humbling achievement of my life. 14) Possible MOS Interest: 1702 Cyberspace Officer 15) Current Progress Towards Application / OCS Session Completed: Contacted OSO, pending interview date 16) Additional Comments: I've been lurking on the forums for a bit now, this is a great resource for potential future Officers.

16) Additional Comments: I was in Army OCS about two years but got dismissed due to peer evaluations and a few policy violations. I didn't receive any Article 15 but in the DD785, it's marked Box 5. I hope I can get a waiver and overcome this issue.

As this board has died a slow death, I imagine a few of you old salts check in from time to time. I'm planning to drop papers this winter, and am curious how 1st CivDiv has treated you.
